The owner of this basement restaurant was once a manager at Café Milano, so he brought a wealth of restaurant experience when he ventured out on his own. As you enter the small hallway that leads you into the restaurant, you’ll see pictures of him with various celebrities who have dined there. However, you don’t have to be a celebrity to enjoy the warm atmosphere and reasonably-price Northern Italian dishes. There is live music at night and the menu changes seasonally, so you will have a unique experience each time you visit.
